No President's Day holiday?

 MP> The "Altaid" is the one that is meant to fit in an Altoids box, right?

All of Lee's Membership Cards are meant to fit into an Altoids tin, within
reason. Some have optional expansion cards that make them too tall for the
tin to cose, but in general the CPU and display boards can be entirely
enclosed in an Altoids tin. The various expansion boards for a given kit stack
on top of each other, like Arduino shields or Pi bonnets.

The Altaid kit is basically another Membership Card but is based on an 8080
CPU, as was the 1975 Altair 8800. This provides opportunity for a further pun:
Altaid 8800. :)
